What is Teeth Whitening?
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic dental treatment designed to remove stains and discoloration from your teeth. Over time, food, drinks, smoking, and aging can cause teeth to lose their natural brightness.
Whitening treatments use bleaching agents like hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide, which break down these stains and lighten the color of your teeth.
The process works by applying a special whitening gel to the surface of your teeth. The bleaching agents penetrate the enamel, breaking down stains and leaving your teeth looking noticeably whiter.
Is Teeth Whitening Safe?
Teeth whitening is safe when done by a professional. At Guiding Light Dental, we use top-quality products and proven techniques to make sure your treatment is both effective and comfortable.
Some people may experience a little tooth sensitivity or mild gum irritation, but these effects are usually temporary and go away after a few days.
With professional whitening, you can rest easy knowing you're avoiding the risks of over-the-counter products that may not be the best fit for your teeth.
How Long Do Teeth Whitening Results Last?
On average, teeth whitening results can last anywhere from several months to a year. Keeping up with a good oral care routine and being mindful of stain-causing foods and drinks can help you enjoy your sparkling smile for even longer.
How Often Can You Whiten Your Teeth?
Whitening too often can lead to sensitivity or damage to your enamel. Always follow the recommendations of your dentist regarding how often you should whiten your teeth.
For most patients, whitening treatments are safe to perform once or twice a year, depending on individual needs.
Tips to Make Your Whitening Results Last Longer
- Brush and floss regularly to maintain oral hygiene.
- Avoid foods and drinks like coffee, red wine, and berries that can stain teeth.
- Drink water after consuming stain-causing foods and beverages.
- Use a straw when drinking beverages like coffee or soda.
- Avoid smoking or using tobacco products.
